What We’re About
No instrument is more identified with German and Czech music than the Tuba. The TubaMeisters, a Tuba/Euphonium quartet, go far beyond the oompah tradition, by presenting a rich and varied entertainment. All the old standards are here, with other music youll enjoy. There’s also Austrian, Czech, Slovenian, Spanish, and Mexican, and even a few Country-Western and Rock tunes, as well, with vocals in four languages.
Beginning with a season at the Fiesta Texas Theme Park in 1992, the group has performed in various parts of the United States, for festivals, private parties, weddings, church services, TV commercials, and have even appeared on German TV, twice. Wherever FUN is the order of the day, these guys deliver!
